| Problem: The large chainring flexes, causing the chain to rub against the front derailleur cage all the time. |
| Solution: Learn to pedal faster (about 90 rpm is a good goal), which will put less pressure on the chainring and flex it less. Check for loose chainring bolts. Get the chainring straightened if it's bent. |

| Problem: Every time you fix a flat, the tire goes flat again. |
| Solution: Check the tube carefully. Are the holes in one area? If they're on the bottom, the rim strip may be out of position, allowing the tube t oget cut by the spokes. If they're on top, there may be some small sharp object still stuck in the tire. Find it by running a rag around the inner side of the tire, and get it out of the tire. |
